Everything is a social issue. Believing that social things are inherently different to tech things is a false dichotomy - especially given the fact that we (startup entrepreneurs) actively seek ways to disrupt business and consequently society. Founders have a duty to think about the way the things they build will change society, and to avoid making it worse. That's fundamentally "social".

"Founders have a duty to think about the way the things they build will change society"
Fair enough. The primary focus though, is still the things they build.
It's always about the things.
The things.
And how those specific things impact people.
